What makes Highnam different

The Tewkesbury local authority area grew by 6.6% between mid-2021 and mid-2024, to 101,708 people. New residents have no favourite plumber, café or hairdresser yet, so they search; a clear website is how a Highnam business gets onto that first list.

The people a Highnam website talks to

54.3% of households own their home outright. Before-and-after photos are what homeowners look for.

Retired people are 36.8% of residents aged 16 and over. They have time to compare, so clear prices and real photos work best.

29.6% of residents are 65 or over (England: 18.4%). Text that is easy to read and a visible phone number and email help.

44.0% of adults hold Level 4 qualifications or above. They read details: accreditations and precise descriptions help.

Rules to know before your Highnam website goes live

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
